Abstract

By the analysis of thematic mapping data of Cambay, Cauvery, Barmer petroleferous basins and the Jharkhand area in India, it is observed that the values of L_λ and T_R of Cambay, Barmer & Cauvery basin are almost same as that of Jharkhand area. It is known that Jharkhand area is covered with coal seams. So, from this observation it can be implied that In India, scope for simultaneous operations for CBM and oil and natural gas exploration/production in the existing areas i.e. Cambay basin (Gujarat), Barmer Basin (Rajasthan) and Cauvery basin (Tamil Nadu) wherein both CBM and Oil & Natural Gas occur in the same basinal areas. As far as technical feasibility and horizontal/vertical separation of CBM operations and Oil & Gas operations are concerned it is very well established that both operations could be carried out simultaneously. However, certain broad guidelines and procedures may have to be followed in this endeavor. In case CBM and oil and natural gas formations are separated by lithological column of sufficient thickness between the two horizons, exploration of CBM and natural gas from the same area could be carried out simultaneously by two different operators or by the same operator.
